Stump Grinding in Scottish Borders

Stump grinding is the procedure where the stump of a felled tree is taken out. Generally during tree felling a couple of inches of the trunk and the root system are left behind in the soil, making the adjacent space unusable in addition to potentially enticing bugs or harbouring tree diseases such as honey fungus. If your garden has stumps in the ground, extracting them could open up the garden, offering additional space which could be used to expand your lawn area or provide fresh spaces to lay patio or decking. Competent stump grinding firms can remove stumps of any proportion. The method usually includes trimming the stump as low to the ground as possible utilising a chainsaw, and afterwards using specialised stump grinding devices to grind away at the stump. Stumps are ground down to about 10-12 inches beneath the dirt surface to allow for replanting, however occasionally landscaping projects might need the stump to be ground deeper than this. The wood chipping that is made by the stump grinding may be either infilled back into the hole and used as mulch in other areas of your garden, or the stump grinding company may remove it for you and dispose of it in an environmentally friendly way. Furthermore, lots of expert stump grinding companies provide specialist small machines that could be employed if there is limited access to your garden for instance, through a side alleyway.
